A global "patent pool" for AIDS drugs will be launched next year in a bid to slash billions off the cost of producing generic medecines for the developing world, the UNITAID drug purchase fund said. UNITAID head Philippe Douste-Blazy, pictured in 2008, told AFP the mechanism was given the green light at a board meeting in Geneva Monday.
